Yeah. I'd definitely run though that cake pretty quickly.
I know the batter was quite tasty, as it all wouldn't fit in the two pans. Tomorrow for this one my cheesecake and the speculoos cheesecakes. Two pumpkin pies left to bake. Happy thanksgiving:) almost!
Edit to fix pre coffee typo.

I made 2 Double layer pumpkin cheesecakes for tomorrow and a test run of fudge for Christmas since I've never made fudge before. I'll try to post pictures later.

Pumpkin cheesecake is fabulous!!0

Ok, here's the pumpkin cheesecake. I made one pie for today because I'm impatient, and the other one is for Thanksgiving
Usually I pretop the whole pie with Cool Whip, but since this one was for the impatient, I just scooped it on top after cutting the pie. And it's topped with Caramel Sauce and a Sweetzel's Spiced Wafer (Ginger & Molassas)0 -
That looks amazing! (*)0

Here's what I went with for the caramel-- I couldn't decide if I liked it lying down or standing up better so I did some of each. And then I tried my hand at chocolate butterflies. They need work but I think not bad for a first attempt. Mostly I need to work on fusing the two colors of chocolate better-- the white chocolate was separating from the milk chocolate by the time I put the wings on the cupcake.

Damn Amber!! I'm seriously impressed, around here a cupcake like that would cost me $10!
I like it standing up and it does look classy0 -
Beautiful work!0

Love the caramel Amber! Standing up is impressive but maybe more difficult topackage and transport for your business?
Also on the choc butterfly, do you need the white choc filling on the wings? At first I thought it was the white icing showing thru and that would be really cool.also.
Seriously so impressed... I remember when you were just an amazing home baker and now you're a professional!0 -

Standing up is harder to transport, but it doesn't hold up for long before the caramel starts to melt anyway-- I timed it at 4 hours yesterday. So I'd probably transport them to wherever they're going separately and then set them up with the toppers once I get there. That's going to limit when they're feasible.
I had considered just doing chocolate filigree for the butterflies. I've got another idea for doing them out of royal icing, which might hold together a little better. More practice needed.0 -

Agreed that final assembly after transport would work the best (based on my expert opinion of watching a few cake shows :laugh:).
And those are beautiful!!! Love the butterfly, and I also prefer the standing up. I'm thinking we need a cupcake meetup. We could fund the event, you could bake. 0 -

I'd be in for that!
I probably should start watching some of those shows; if for no other reason than it might save me from having to learn the hard way. :laugh:0 -
Lovely cupcakes, Acrylics!0

Yeah... those are amazing looking. I could only wish I was able to do something like that. lol0

I think I had mentioned my family was doing a Pumpkin Throwdown at Thanksgiving. Here are the entries... ironically the savory dish was the winner!
Here are the entries:
Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake Bars with Salted Caramel Glaze (my entry)
Pumpkin Spice Cake Balls with Cream Cheese Icing
Pumpkin Spice Chex Mix
Pumpkin Caramel Bars
Pumpkin Fluff Cake
The Healthy Entry: Pumpkin/Cranberry/Spinach Smoothie Base with OJ and Apple Cider
The Savory Entry: Pumpkin Chicken Enchiladas (also the ultimate winner!)

Those all look divine!0

Wow - serious pumpkin throwdown. And pumpkin chicken enchiladas sounds awesome!0
-
Not as impressive as some of the stuff in here, but I'm excited to have something to share (instead of just lurking/drooling). Pumpkin cookies with brown butter frosting.0 -
Another pumpkin cheesecake, plus all of it's little sad, sunken babies. It tasted good though!

Kruggeri, I thought for sure your entry for the Throwdown would win, because it looks the best!0

Thanks! It actually was a pretty evenly matched challenge - every entry got at least one vote. Well except for the pumpkin/spinach drink - that was just weird...
I think the enchiladas won for the surprise factor. Although I have to say, they weren't even very pumpkiny, they just tasted like good chicken enchiladas... but when you've spent a couple of days eating traditional Thanksgiving food and lots of sweets, a mexican dish was a welcome change. My brother is crafty like that...

The enchiladas look good. Would try.
Chubby_checkers you had me at brown butter.0 -
Holy crap, you guys are killin' me with these pictures! I can't believe how many pages I've missed. Acrylics, those cupcakes are gorgeous!
I finally tasted the Talenti egg nog, and it was nice and creamy. I'll have a full serving soon. Also, I bought some Lucerne Mexican chocolate ice cream. It's almost as good as Steve's Mexican chili chocolate, just no crunchies in it.0 -
After reading about MrMs caramel in a can I had to try it.Pretty tasty. Now to make something to drizzle it on.
